Brittany Murphy’s father is suing the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
Angelo Bertolotti wants to get access of his late daughter’s hair samples so he can try and disprove her official cause of death.
The Clueless actress died in December 2009 at the age of 32, but Angelo disagrees with the findings of the autopsy and wants to conduct his own tests.
“Plaintiff discussed the findings in the Autopsy Report which attributed his daughter’s death to Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Iron Deficiency Anaemia,” the court documents state.
“Plaintiff repeatedly voiced his concerns about these findings as being incorrect, since the testing/toxicology was incomplete and the death of Brittany Anne Murphy Monjak was never fully investigated.”
Angelo wants a judge to order the Coroner’s Office to release hair samples, facial hair, and other specimens in its possession.
Just five months after Brittany died, her husband Simon Monjack also passed away from pneumonia and anaemia.
